Do the TPMSs "auto-locate" after Tire Rotation?

The first video covered 2013 through 2018 RAMs, listen again. Some just refuse to understand. My 2022 has antennas in each wheel, I've seen the front ones. But that aside, answer the basic question, how does the truck know which TPMS sensor is in which wheel well if not for localized antennas?
Well, let’s get those pics of the antennas in the wheel wells then.
I explained how the location is determined.
 
Yes, the 5 tire rotation will work just as long as you add the sensor to the spare. I would double check to see if the 1500 has a TPMS in the spare, a lot of vehicles do, but I don't think our trucks have one. If it did, you could utilize that one for your aftermarket spare tire.
nope we don't have TPMS in our spare. Confirmed that when I did wheels and tires (I even debead the spare to confirm lol)
Probably gonna get 2 sensors... one for the spare under and another for the spare for the spare when i do the long trip this year.
 
The first video with the ram, he has a 2013, the last year they used a dedicated tpms receiver (still no antennas).
The second video is a comedy, and when he mentions Chrysler systems, he is showing a schematic of the door lock system, and the antennas he refers to are actually the antennas for the passive entry door handles and push button start system.
I can assure you, you’ll never find an antenna related to the tpms system on a 2014-2024 ram truck because they don’t exist. The sensor locations are picked up by wheel speed, and that’s why turning will pick the locations up quicker after new install or tire rotation.
Here’s the full schematic of the tpms system (individual sensors in the tires not shown):

Please explain how it picks up my inner and outer duals then on my 3500.
